Integration of Metal Additive Manufacturing Using Fused Deposition Modeling in Mechanical Engineering Education Chinmaya Joshi, Stephen Pierson, Jackson Minnick, Corbin Russ, and Han Hu Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR 72701AbstractThis paper presents the integration of additive manufacturing techniques using metal-polymer andfiber-polymer filaments in mechanical engineering education. Currently, students need tooutsource the production of high-performance plastics and stainless-steel parts for their seniorcapstone project to third-party vendors which require long lead times and cost more than themethods presented in this paper.

The requirement was to design a heated scraper toolfor cleaning dried asphalt from road paving equipment that included a 3-inch wide blade thatcould be heated to a minimum of 400°F and a long handle with the proper safety equipment. Ourfinal design included all these features by using propane to heat the blade to a temperatureaveraging at 512°F. Additionally, this design is easily manufactured, with

Risk is a part of every project and isusually associated with adverse or negative outcomes and is therefore perceived as a danger orhazard [25]. In a challenging global economy, it is progressively more difficult to put together aproject which is both effective and cost efficient. This difficulty arises in part because a project’scomplexity continues to increase

Background:One of the authors recently assumed course development responsibilities for an introductorycourse in Computer Engineering, a required course for both Electrical Engineering andComputer Science majors. The course was well designed and roughly followed the course textin how it presented material related to the subject. The plans for class instruction werereinforced through homework assignments and then tested on exams. Two multi-part projects(labs) involved applying various concepts learned in the class in a design fashion.

In 2050 it is estimated that 75% of people will live in urbanenvironments [1]. While this is good for nature because people moving out of rural areas willallow nature to take back those areas, but for people, this means spending less time outdoors [1].It is estimated that people spend approximately 90% of their time indoors [2].

In this type of learning environment,there is always the risk of “missing the forest for the trees” and training students to usespecific tools in specific situations while not providing them knowledge that can appliedin other environments. Great care is taken to use tools from a variety of vendors tominimize this problem. Also the hands-on experience in the assignments and projects isbalanced with more generalized material provided in the classroom lectures. Whilestudents must learn the usage of a number of different tools, they are encouraged to domuch of this on their own. This provides an excellent opportunity to encourage
